The incident occurred outdoors on Birkagatan in Jönköping just before 5 pm on Wednesday.

When the police arrived at the scene, the injured woman was found.

- She was awake and talkable when we got there.

She was not seriously injured, says Björn Öberg, press spokesperson for the police.

According to the police, some form of exchange of words took place which then escalated into the beating.

A person in the company must have been the most driving force in the assault.

No suspect has been arrested.

- We have interrogated both the woman and the witnesses, and will continue to hold more interrogations.

The assault took place outside a grocery store, so hopefully many have seen it.

Then we will also see if there are surveillance cameras on site, says Björn Öberg.

The police classify the incident as aggravated assault.
